Milton-Madison Bridge

“The concrete will be going in next week and you’ll start to see the pier at that point coming out of the water.”

Aaron Stover, with Michael Baker, Jr., Inc., gave an update on the pier reinforcement phase of the Milton-Madison Bridge Project for local and regional media representatives during a tour of the bridge construction sites on Oct. 28. Michael Baker, Jr., Inc., is the company in charge of bridge inspection during the project.

Area motorists who may be viewing with trepidation the ongoing construction of temporary ramps on each end of the Milton-Madison bridge can set their fears aside as every aspect of safety is being given consideration in the design and manufacture of the structures, according to Doug VanSlambrook, Assistant Project Manager, Walsh Construction Company.

The Milton-Madison Bridge Project has been named one of the “Top 10” bridge projects in the country by Roads & Bridges Magazine. The industry publication unveiled the 2011 winning projects in a video announcement on YouTube.

The project is number three on the list, which recognizes the best in bridge construction projects in the U.S. Projects are judged on several factors, including size, contractor challenges and impact on drivers.
